TRON LEGACY Guys To Remake THE BLACK HOLE

According to Hollywood Reporter, Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and producer Sean Bailey are remaking this story about a research vessel that finds a missing ship, commanded by a mysterious scientist, on the edge of a black hole. Scribe Travis Beacham who penned the CLASH OF THE TITANS remake is in charge of the screenplay for the new BLACK HOLE.

No word yet if the plot will stay the same but they promise that Maximilian (the evil red robot) would return.

Captain Nemo’s Nautilus sinks

From the LA Times:

In one of his first major creative moves as Walt Disney Studios’ new movie chief, Rich Ross has made the costly decision to pull the plug on the planned $150-million production of “Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” — the last project approved by his predecessor, Dick Cook.

EPCOT’s Norway

As part of EPCOT Central’s What Works series, they posted today about Norway. I agree that it is underrated and possible undervalued attractions at EPCOT. When I took my daughters to Disney for the first time back in 2006, one of the first things that I planned was a Princess lunch at Restaurant Akershus in Norway and it was one the best things I could have done. The food was good, it wasn’t crowded and the individual attention was amazing. The almost 5 minute Maelstrom boat ride is still one of my favorites, it’s a dark ride that takes you on a journey from a mythological Norway’s Viking days all the way up to today. The big thrill of the ride comes after the boat enters an enchanted swamp and you’re forced backwards down a waterfall by angry trolls. The movie afterward is indeed dated but still interesting. The kid’s play area used to have a full-scale Viking ship but it was removed in December of 2008.
